Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When two different metals are in contact with each other and exposed to moisture, an electrochemical reaction occurs, known as electrolysis. This process can cause one of the metals to corrode or disintegrate faster over time due to the flow of electrical current between the dissimilar metals in the presence of an electrolyte (moisture).
